Package: slapd Version: 2.4.23-7.2 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/sbin/slappasswd
Hi, I have a working setup where I create ldap accounts on an admin box, using ldapvi. I'd like to generate ldap password on that box, not on the server, and do everything using ldap protocol. Currently, the slappassword is in the slapd package, which I dont really need / want to install on my admin box. Could it be moved somewhere else? It seems that it doesn't fit in ldap-utils because it's openldap specific, but I'm not sure putting it alone in a slapd-utils package makes sense. Another thing is why is it installed in /usr/sbin? As far as I can tell, it only *generates* the salted, hashed password and print it to stdout. Nothing really needs root permissions, so I'm not sure why it couldn't live in /usr/bin.
